Here's a fighter I just finished this morning. Its got a 10 1/4" 1084 blade, fittings made from wrought iron wagon wheel, osage orange and ebony handle plus a one of a kind two ply sheath that I also made. I'll have this on display at the OKCA Show the 9th and 10th of April.

HI Ray I was going to wait till Thursday to look at this but I am glad I did not it is very cool and I love the eXtreme sheath . not bad for a wednesday
 
Very Cool Ray! I'm glad to see a big one come out of your shop, and this one is real nice, especially that temper line.
 
Hey Ray, Another fine example of a senior moment, losing a day. Hate to admit it but it happens to me too, I throught it was Friday. :D:D:D:D:D

Truth is, thats a great fighter no matter what day it is, I especially like the way you shaped the hardware. :thumbup::thumbup:

Bill, This was not a real senior moment. I've just been practicing for when its a real thing. I'm at that age.

Steve Nuckels, This was one of the few times I didn't add anything to adjust or change the color of the osage orange. I did hand sand to 600 grit and then buffed with the gray buffing compound. I was surprised to see it as orange as it is.
 
Ray,
This one is a beaut!
I'll be at the OKCA show this year and am looking forward to seeing your stuff... In fact... I would like to see something special from you eventually... maybe a nice Scandi-design piece with a nice dangler-style sheath... Will have to talk w/u at the show!!!
Have a safe trip!
